As an LCSW, I’ve gained valuable experience working in diverse settings, from inpatient rehabilitation to ER crisis care. I’m deeply passionate about alternative therapies, including psychedelic preparation and integration, which I’ve found profoundly helpful in supporting clients through existential shifts, recovery, and deep identity work.
When I’m not in the therapy office, you’ll find me chasing after three lively boys alongside my high school sweetheart turned husband.
Hello! My name is Sonia Trefflich. I’m a Bilingual Spanish-speaking Licensed Clinical Social Worker and an EMDR-trained therapist. My passion is working with others, especially those who feel damaged and stuck with their pain from past experiences. I have worked with individuals from many cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds, and I have a deep understanding of the added challenges that upbringing and identity may present post or pre-trauma.
I am a seasoned therapist with over a decade of experience in child welfare, multisystemic therapy (MST), and crisis intervention for both children and adults. I offer person-centered and trauma-informed interventions that include strengths-focused and mindfulness-based practices. As a radical social and racial justice allied therapist, my approach is rooted in a decolonial mindset, ensuring therapy is free of spiritual bypassing and toxic positivity, focusing on genuine healing and empowerment.
I'm interested in helping you become your best, authentic self - whatever that looks like! Therapy is about relationships -- the relationship between therapist and client as well as the relationship the client has with themselves and others. My goal as a therapist is for you to feel seen, heard, and understood and to take that capacity and generalize it throughout your lived experience. As a therapist, I examine your memories, perceptions, and presence to paint a vibrant picture of who you are.
I'm a mental health counselor with roots in teaching and social emotional learning; that background shapes the way I show up with clients, with patience, curiosity, and a genuine belief in each person's capacity to grow. At the heart of my work is empathy and deep listening; I want every client to feel truly met, not just heard.
Therapy is a second career for me. I worked 25 years in journalism listening to stories as a reporter; often traumatic stories. When I learned that it is possible to find growth and healing after traumatic events, I chose to become a therapist to walk with individuals on their journey to finding peace and understanding.
I've worked with several victims of domestic violence, sexual violence and child abuse; and first responders, such as law enforcement, emergency medical personnel and search and rescue. I am unafraid of the hard stories; and can respect and find solutions for clients who cannot speak aloud the horrors they've experienced or seen.
I also love working with people who are ready to find their path to authenticity, joy and fulfilment.
